Last night was my first time watching Allen Iverson play for a while. I must say that this guy is just unbelievable. He didn't have his best game last night, but I was still in awe. I think living in Philly and watching AI play every night sort of spoils some people. I remember when I used to live around the Philly area, I would watch Sixer games everyday. Back then, I never really realized what type of talent AI really is, and how special of a player he really is. With that being said, it really is sad to see him go all out only to have his team fall short (like yesterday night in OT). My question to you all is, do you think Allen Iverson is un-appreciated in Philly?
I think he`s terribly un-appreciated. Just because the Sixers haven`t been really that successful in the past few years and people may see Iverson as a bum, he brings down his respect to the fans. Its a really sad thing to watch.
Its too bad that Iverson is getting thrown on the backburner of the nba, and basically getting no considerations for anything just because of his team. Iverson is on a team full of young players, underachievers, and players who are way past their time. Iverson is the most entertaining player i have ever watched, and is hands down, one of the best players to ever set foot on a court.
It's amazing how during the course of three years AI went from being the controversial face of the NBA, to taking a back seat to the youngsters like LeBron, Wade, and even Melo. I honestly think that people have forgotten just how good Allen Iverson is do to the success, or lack there of that his team has experienced these last few seasons, and that is a damn shame.
I thought that AI, KG and Duncan won't be so good this season. But I have to eat my words. AI has been playing great, Duncan is still doing his thang and doing it veeery good. Spurs are on a 8-2 record, Duncan is putting up some great numbers - 22.8 PPG, 0.60 SPG, 1.60 BPG, 3.1 APG, 11.90 RPG. KG has been still better so far , KG's numbers are - 21.8 PPG, 1.67 SPG, 2.00 BPG, 3.3 APG, 12.00 RPG. AI has been the best so far of those them (imo, pretty equal to KG, though). Putting up 28.7 PPG, 1.78 SPG, 7.7 APG and 3.90 RPG. It was kinda off-topic, but it's just great to see, that those 3 SUPERSTARS are still putting up great numbers and doing their job in their teams.
AI and KG both need some help from their teams to win. im still hoping that both webber and kg opt out after this year and KG wants to play with Iverson. that would be a dream come true.
